Global Wamring!?!?

Question

what is global warming? how is it affecting earth???

Answer 1

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU ON.== G.W. HAS MELTED THE GLACIERS AND RAISE THE LEVEL OF THE OCEANS, CAUSED DOUBLE TO TRIPPLE SIZE STORMS AND DISASTERS, BURNED FORESTS, DRIED UP FRESH WATER AND IS CAUSING ALL ATTITUDES TO BE COMPLETELY OFF ESPECIALLY IN WILD ANIMALS.

Answer 2

Some gases ("greenhouse gases") let sunlight in, which warms the Earth, and then block that heat from leaving. That's the "greenhouse effect", and it's a natural thing, mostly caused by water vapor.

Man is making excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly by burning fossil fuels. That causes the delicate natural balance to go out of whack and the Earth warms. That's global warming.

It won't be a Hollywood movie style disaster. Gradually coastal areas will flood and agriculture will be damaged. But it will be very bad. Rich countries will cope, but it will take huge amounts of money. In poor countries many people will die of starvation, but not all of them.

Most scientists say, in 20-50 years. But we need to start right now to fix it, fixing it will take even longer than that.

Lots of numerical scientific data proving it real here:

Proof that most scientists think it's real and mostly caused by us here:

Answer 3

I guess you don't get out much.

Global warming is the rise of the earth's

temperature. It's caused by stupid humans

when they pollute. What happends is that when

people pollute, the gases go into the atmosphere

and trap heat from the sun. If you haven't noticed,

it's causing the polar ice caps to melt,

will eventually lead to the earth becoming

flooded.

Leave your house. Now.

Answer 4

It's a load of crock.  40 years ago it was global cooling. Now it's global warming. It's a ploy by the liberals to control your each and every move. They want to tax you, control wether you wear a seat belt, and yes they even want to control the exaust you put out.

Answer 5

it's a way for the gov't to put a tax on you breathing. (it is co2 after all.)

Top 11 Warmest Years On Record Have All Been In Last 13 Years

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200...

ScienceDaily (Dec. 13, 2007) — The decade of 1998-2007 is the warmest on record, according to data sources obtained by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The global mean surface temperature for 2007 is currently estimated at 0.41°C/0.74°F above the 1961-1990 annual average of 14.00°C/57.20°F...

...Since the start of the 20th century, the global average surface temperature has risen by 0.74°C. But this rise has not been continuous. The linear warming trend over the last 50 years (0.13°C per decade) is nearly twice that for the last 100 years...

...2007 global temperatures have been averaged separately for both hemispheres. Surface temperatures for the northern hemisphere are likely to be the second warmest on record, at 0.63°C above the 30-year mean (1961-90) of 14.6°C/58.3°F. The southern hemisphere temperature is 0.20°C higher than the 30-year average of 13.4°C/56.1°F, making it the ninth warmest in the instrumental record since 1850.

January 2007 was the warmest January in the global average temperature record at 12.7°C/54.9°F, compared to the 1961-1990 January long-term average of 12.1°C/53.8°F...

Answer 7

global warming is caused by high levels of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere. global warming is proved to be a natural accurance but with the help of humans and large industry we have speed up the process. sun light shines through the earths atmosphere and most of the heat is reflected off of the white ice. its the same concept as wearing a white shirt on a hot summer day. but now because more heat is being trapped and more CO2 is being pumped into the atmosphere the ice is melting. with less ice to reflect the suns heat the warmer the earth gets. because of this the earth will warm several degrees causing stronger storms, more drought, and the loss of many animals. plus we can expect to see a rise in the amount of insects who like warm weather (mosquitos). polar bears are already droppong in numbers becuase of all the ice melting. also because of the melting ice we can expect to see a rise in water levels which could evevtually flood the coastline cities. also an easy fix would be using trees and plants because they turn CO2 into oxygen. but with people turning forests and woodland areas into housing developments, and businesses we dont have enough trees to keep up with the amount of CO2 in the air. global warming is dangerous and its sad people are not responding to it the way we should.

Answer 8

Global warming is the personal gas emissions that each organism on earth emits because they are unable to hold it in. They pollute the air and cause the earth to heat up. Not to mention that the smell is horrid. The culprits: cows, sheep, humans.

Answer 9

Global warming is the warming of the earth. Earth is changing rapidly, ice caps are melting in Antartica putting more salty water in the oceans.Days are getting hotter than usual in certain places and colder than usual in cetain places. Maybe some organisms will have to adapt to the new world to come and perhaps some will die because they don't have the traits to survive. We can't reduce it but we could try to stop by recycling plastic, paper and cans. We also can plants more plants so more carbon dioxide is absorb and more oxygen is release; carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming according to scientist.  The carbon dioxide trap in the atmosphere can't be release through space so its trap in earth (some CO2 is release), this is called the GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

Answer 10

Global warming is the false assumption that man has the power to change the weather.  The reason for the hype is three-fold.

One, to whip people into a panic so they can be controlled.  

Two, to keep our attention diverted from worse things, perhaps the takeover of Government by a coup.

And three, to tax people into submission, to make people pay for eating, living, breathing, going to work, reading at night.  It's about control of the masses and illegal taxation spearheaded by Al Gore and his henchmen are leading the push because it will mean vast amounts of wealth.
